The clinical committee has decided that the Galician capital "go to medium level" and be closed perimeter. The Xunta will clarify this Wednesday the details of the decision and its effects on the hospitality sector in the tourist lung of Galicia, which keeps most of its bars and restaurants closed despite the fact that current limits allow activity.
The Xunta indicates three new city councils in the maximum level of restrictions. They are Ribeira (A Coruña), Bueu and Baiona (Pontevedra).
The technicians who advise the Galician Government have also decided to "implement a special surveillance" on the towns of Verín, O Barco, A Rúa, Cedeira and San Sadurniño.

Faced with these new restrictions, Galicia opens its hand in six other municipalities in which the current limits are softened. They are the following: Barro (Pontevedra), Coristanco, Cee, Laxe and Carballo (A Coruña).
